Scene changes onto the ship
Odysseus shoots Penelope
"Holy Hephaestus! Why did he do that!" shouted Leo.
Let's cut the charade, you are no wife of mine
"What?" asked Hazel.
"I'm confused..." said Piper.
"Oh! I get it now!" smiled Annabeth.
"What?" everyone asked.
"You'll find out." smirked Frank. "But that got us good."
You've been tryin' to take my life this whole time
I know underwater, there are packs of you hiding
"Packs?" asked Thalia. "She's not a wolf."
Yeah, I know exactly what you are, a siren
"Oh!" said everyone.
"Let me explain how they work... in this world anyway," said Annabeth. "Sirens transform into what you love most so that you can drown and they can feats on you. Their singing goes into your ears and they access your thoughts and desires and they use it."
My real wife knows I'm not scared of the water
And my real wife knows I don't have a daughter
"But how come they got a bit confused?" asked Clarisse.
"I think they will mention it soon." said Annabeth.
But while you were so focused on turning my men into snacks
You didn't notice that your friends got snatched
What?
"This was a trap the whole time." said Frank.
"Odysseus always does this, he always plans ahead." said Annabeth.
"But how did he know about the sirens before he even saw her?" asked Leo.
"That also might be mentioned soon."
We are a different beast now
We are the ones who feast now
No more of us deceased, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you
"This leads us back from 'Monster'," said Nico. "He is becoming the monster."
"Wait, so he's going to eat the sirens?" asked Hazel.
"No... maybe?"
"Do you think they taste like sushi?" asked Leo.
"Shut up!"
"Sorry!"
"But I doubt it, Hazel."
We are the man-made monsters
We are the ones who conquer
You are a threat no longer
We won't take more suffering from you
"The crew is the threat now." said Thalia.
"This is so fun and exciting!" said Clarisse.
"Of course it is to you." sighed Will.
We've been away from home for
About twelve years or so
"Is he just really bad at knowing time?" asked Nico.
"Even the best have to be bad at something." said Will.
"Yeah, look at me! I held up the sky, killed the Minotaur, went through Tartarus, faught and won against Ares, been to the Underworld several times and beat more monsters than every hero in history yet I find spelling quite difficult." said Percy.
First, we slayed in our own war
And now, we're here with more foes
While on the run from Poseidon
We found a ship with no crew
I realised nearby, there were sirens
Singing sailors to their dooms
"See?" asked Annabeth.
"So he just looked at a ship with no crew and out of all things he assumed sirens?" asked Leo.
"That's a fair point, there could have been many other reasons for that." said Frank.
"But what is he right?" asked Annabeth.
"He was..." they both said.
"You've got to plan for the worst, boys."
We filled our ears with beeswax
That's how we resist your song
"There it is." said Annabeth.
"Just like what we did." said Percy.
"Yeah, I got the idea from this just like the 'Nobody' part."
You pretended to be my wife
So I just played along
I read your lips and phrases
"Lip reading was common then!" said Reyna.
"Well, the earliest record of lip reading was in 1504 by a Spanish Benedictine Monk named Ponce de León." said Annabeth.
"But this is a different universe so maybe it was common then." said Thalia.
"I think most of us know how to lip read."
"True."
"And my cousin has a friend who is deaf so he's teaching me sign language."
"Really?"
"Yeah, his name is Magnus."
"That's cool." said Jason. "At least he doesn't have to fight monsters though."
"He does."
"I don't know any Chases apart from you at Camp Half-Blood." said Piper.
"No, he's dead."
"I'm confused..." said Frank.
"He died and he was revived and joined as an einherji in Valhalla."
"Wait... he's a Norse demigod!" said Hazel.
"Yeah, son of Frey."
"I never even knew they existed." said Grover.
"There are also Egyptian demigods called magicians, well not demigods, they're children of pharaohs. Most of the Egyptian Gods have faded."
Scanning for information
Sirens know about every route and horizon
Now I know how to get back to my island
"But through the Lair of Scylla? It might not be that good..." started Percy.
We are a different beast now
We are the ones who feast now
No more of us deceased, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you
We are the man-made monsters
We are the ones who conquer
You are a threat no longer
We won't take more suffering from you
"He's talking to the siren as if it was all her fault." said Hazel.
"He is calling all of the suffering he faced just one entity." said Annabeth.
"That is quite harmful." said Will. "He probably has PTSD from all of the trouble he faced. The war, the death, and isolation in a way and that is clearly not good for his mental health. I a very worried about him."
Spare us
Oh, spare us please
Why?
So you can kill the next group of sailors in this part of the sea?
Nah, you wouldn't have spared me
"He is being ruthless." said Hazel. "No pun intended."
"And he won't be showing any mercy by the looks of it." said Frank. "Also no pun intended."
I made a mistake like this, it almost cost my life
I can't take more risks of not seeing my wife
Cut off their tails! We're ending this now
Throw their bodies back in the water
Let them drown (no)
"That's terrifying..." said Piper.
"Cutting off half of their body parts and then making them drown in their own territory is gruesome." said Thalia.
"Indeed." said Reyna.
He is a different beast now
He is the one who feasts now
No more of us deceased, 'cause he won't take more suffering from you
He is the man-made monster
He is the one who conquers
You are a threat no longer
He won't take more suffering from you
"The crew doesn't want this to happen it seems." said Hazel.
"They're putting the blame on Odysseus." said Leo.
Kill them all
The crew start killing them
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Kill them all
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Kill them all
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Kill 'em all
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
Odysseus
"He's killing them mercilessly now." said Piper.
"Just like Poseidon told him too." said Annabeth.
